The scent used in sauna loyly should not be too strong or too weak.
If you want to breathe comfortably and immerse yourself in the moment, artificial fragrances are out of the question.
What HIKOBAYU proposes is
The most natural and safest. Beyond organic, Wild Crafted.
Natural products made by lumberjacks directly in the mountains
Based on the wild flavor of Japanese oak essential oil, which is a product of the bounty of nature.
A sauna blend with aromas reminiscent of three different spaces.
The silence and tranquility of Hokkaido's Sakhalin fir combined with the scent of the plant
The unique scent that is remembered by the olfactory sense brings back the feeling of returning to the forest.
Drifting with scents and sounds,Awaken the mind.
The perfumer himself conducted repeated sensory tests to develop a blend that awakens the senses and puts you in a deep zone, almost like meditation.
HIKOBAYU perfumer Kayoko Sawada has been searching for unique scents that will put you in the zone as if you were meditating for many years. She has created three scent spaces for saunas, inspired by various situations. All the scents are genderless, enveloping the mind and body and blending into the space.
Ambient Sauna Scent
Product inspiration
It's like ambient music that expands the space and helps you concentrate better.
Brian Eno, the creator and proponent of “ambient music,” defined it as “music that is interesting but can also be ignored, inducing a sense of calm and relaxation in which to think.”
Although you can feel the unique worldview that the fragrance possesses, it does not overwhelm the space with its scent; rather, the scent expands the space as part of the environmental atmosphere and helps you concentrate more, almost like ambient music.
With this idea in mind, we named it "Ambient Sauna Scent."
Three different scent spaces
Beyond organic, Wild Crafted Based on wild fir essential oil
A sauna blend that brings you back to the forest
WHITE AMBIENT
Inspired by the image of "white meditation," in which a ray of light shines into a pure white space where nothing but you exists, this fragrance lightly envelops the space and heightens the resolution of the senses.
LIME CHAMBER
Beer on the beach, lime and hops bursting, the feeling of sand on your bare skin, an earthy and eccentric, playful scent that piques your curiosity
GLACIER MOUNTAIN
The scent is reminiscent of mountain icebergs that don't melt even in summer, and has a refreshing minty first note that makes you feel as if time has stopped, followed by a sheer, mysterious scent with a hint of water.
What scent do you want to bring into your space?
By intentionally linking scent with space, the experience of that time will be decided. The silence and tranquility of Hokkaido's Sakhalin fir, and the clear scent that is remembered by the olfactory sense, invites the feeling of returning to the forest. HIKOBAYU also provides "scent consulting" for corporations.
